'''Churaman''' (died 1721) was a [[Jat people|Jat]] chieftain of [[Sinsini]], [[Rajasthan]]. He became leader of the Jats after [[Rajaram of Sinsini|Rajaram]]'s death. [[Bahadur Shah I]] made him a ''[[mansabdar]]'' after he supported him against [[Muhammad Azam Shah]] in becoming the emperor. He was also made the ''[[faujdar]]'' of [[Mathura]], and the imperial highway from Delhi to Agra was placed under his protection by the Mughal emperor.<ref name="Bhardwaj1">{{cite book |last=Bhardwaj |first=Suraj Bhan |title=Contestations and Accommodations: Mewat and Meos in Mughal India |year=2016 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-946279-7 |doi=10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199462797.003.0006 |page=211 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zj8PkAEACAAJ |chapter=The Bhomias}}</ref> <br />

After Churaman's anti-Mughal activities, the Mughal emperor [[Farrukhsiyar]] sent [[Jai Singh II]] with 50,000 soldiers to siege his stronghold at Thun in November 1716. When Jai Singh was unable to register a victory against him even after one and a half years of the siege, the Mughals negotiated with Churaman.<ref name="Chandra">{{cite book |last=Chandra |first=Satish |author-link=Satish Chandra (historian) |title=Parties and Politics at the Mughal Court, 1707–1740 |year=2002 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-565444-8 |pages=162–164 |edition=4th |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2zxuAAAAMAAJ}}</ref><br />
